The Fifth amendment
The Fifth amendment also protects criminal defendants from having to testify if they may incriminate themselves through testimony. A witness may "plead the Fifth" and not answer if the witness believes answering the question may be self-incriminatory.
The amendment reads:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put on jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Answer:

The most important invention of the time were carts.
V-shaped structures built above doorways are arches.
Like they do today, potters would spin their wheels on axels.

Explanation:

1. Someone would put what they were trading on carts and go to the market to trade. They used animals like horses, bulls, or ox to pull the carts. Now that is handy! To sum it up, the wheel is a much more important invention than what people believed it to be. (https://interstem.us)

2. Sumerian arches were inverted (upside down) U- or V-shaped structures built above doorways. To build arches, the Sumerians stacked bricks made of clay and straw so that they rose in steps from the walls until they met in the center. Arches added strength and beauty to Sumerian buildings.

3. Just like the simple machine, a potter would spin their wheels on axels.

Which novel was Sinclair Lewis's closest use of the realistic method?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Arrowsmith.

Explanation:

Sinclair Lewis's novel Arrowsmith revolves around the life and experiences of a medical scientist, Martin Arrowsmith. Written during the late 19th century after the medical education reforms and deals with the culture of science. It contains the realistic natures and life of someone in the medicinal scientific studies through the life of Arrowsmith.

Whereas, the other two novels Babbitt and Main Street are satirical novels that satirize American culture and society where the characters live. These two books deals with the pressures on a person to conform to society's 'needs' and 'expectations'. And unlike Arrowsmith, it does not reveal much of the realistic nature of the characters.

Thus, the correct answer is Arrowsmith.
